Late night bites with friends?
Already hard to beat. That first too hot bite of fries you couldn't wait for, followed by ice cold Pepsi. Now that hits different. Suddenly, the energy kicks back in, the night goes longer, and the laughs don't stop. Because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun, and more of the moment.

Let me ask you a question, and I want you to really think about it. When a decision gets made about your health care, who's in the room? Because it's not just you and your doctor, it's your insurance company. They have files on you, pages of it. And here's the part it should bother you. It's not always accurate. Somebody from this audience found this out. He called Chapter the only Medicare advisor that I trust, because his cost kept climbing and nobody would tell him why. His Chapter advisor dug in and found the record that they were using on him, and it was flat out wrong. So, she corrected it and went back to work finding him better options. Nobody else is going to do that. That's the difference. That's Chapter. Their advisors aren't paid to push one plan over another. They're on your side of the table. They compare every Medicare plan nationwide. They have found people an average of $1,100 a year in health care savings. And the call is completely free. It'll take you about 20 minutes. Talk to Chapter today. Dial Pound 250, say the keyword Chapter. That's Pound 250, keyword Chapter. Pound 250, Chapter.
Yes, that is how socialism works.
But we have to blow off our commercials here because we have President Donald J. Trump joining us in just a couple of seconds. These are terrifying times right now. There are calls for Sharia law all across the Western world. It feels like there's a foreign occupation that is happening in parts of America. War with Iran, prices are still biting at the checkout line. Marxists are exploiting this crisis in every way possible. It's easy to forget where we were just two years ago. So before we get to the president, let me just recap what has happened this week.
Monday, Supreme Court cleared the way for the president's mail-in ballot order to take effect before the midterm 6-3. Homeland Security can build a federal citizenship list and send it to the states while the attorney general can prioritize the prosecutions of officials who give ballots to ineligible voters. In 14 days this month, in 14 days ICE arrested almost 1,500 people in Virginia and Maryland alone, including 400 with convictions and pending charges for crimes from sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery, attempted murder, rape, MS-13 members. One of the most successful operations ever.
Let's see. Meanwhile, we find out ICE arrest surged nearly 50,000 in July, highest monthly total. Homeland Security also proposed a $103,000 fee on capped H-1B visa petitions. And then the economic news. This one is huge. Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing survey showed American factories having the strongest current conditions in more than five years. But more striking, the manufacturers, their expectations for the future surged to the highest level since the beginning of the Reagan boom in 1983 with the biggest one jump ever recorded.
In other words, American manufacturing isn't surviving. It may be on the verge of a major. We're going to build things in America again. And nobody thought that was possible with the exception of our guest. That's all in one week. One. And the man responsible is President Donald J. Trump. Mr. President, welcome.
Last night, we found out that...

**Donald Trump** (4:36)
It does sound a little exhausting as you're going over that list. I'm getting exhausted.
I know.

**Glenn Beck** (4:44)
I don't know how you do it. I know.
Last night, we found out that Dolly Parton passed away. And you did something. And I actually wrote this in my diary last night before I heard what you did. I said, I feel like she's kind of, you know, like I feel about her the way I felt about Queen Elizabeth. She was just such class. And I felt like we should lower our flags. And for the first time in history, you said we should lower our flags. And you declared that our flags should be at half staff. That's never been done before. Why'd you do it for her?

**Donald Trump** (5:17)
Is that was never done for an entertainer before? Is that what you mean?

**Glenn Beck** (5:22)
Yeah, never.

**Donald Trump** (5:23)
We've done, we've done this, you know, lowering. But as I understand it, I've heard that from a couple of people. I'm a little surprised, but she was unique. I mean, she was amazing. And to lose her, it's like you lose a member of the family. You know, we all knew her so well. I knew a little bit. She wasn't a very political person. She really liked me, I will tell you. But she also wanted to stay very, you know, she was of the opinion, you know, the 50% who needs to lose. I don't think it's 50 I think it's probably 20% of the fans, okay, not 50
